House Meeting and Wellbeing discussion

Wednesday night is meeting night. Tonight we discussed different upcoming topics for the week ahead. We also spoke about the fitness challenge that will be happening for the month of May.

Here is the challenges that are set for the students who would like to take part. It is a different challenge for each day. It is a fun way to stay active and is great for the wellbeing of our students.

As part of the Wellbeing Pillar 5; Making safe and responsible choices, tonight we watched a short video that discussed the changes that happens when going through the process of being an adolescence.

Iyowuna received boarder of the week for this week.

A food truck came to visit campus today to spoil us with some delicious burritos to the whole of boarding. It is fair to say they went down a treat!!
